If we lose our manufacturing infrastructure, especially those like GM, we're sitting ducks. When WWII hit our shores, places like GM shifted to bomber and transport construction. My grandfather, too old to go to war, built electrical systems for aircraft back then. God forbid we need to do that again, but with things as they are, we may. I'm glad the administration is doing something to keep our manufacturing from going under completely.

Ford got 30 billion for a company half the size of GM. GM got about half of that and it's supposed to make it work. Yet AIG and the banks get a blank check with no conditions, Oh that's right their the ones that give big campaign contributions. Now hes going to use this opportunity to push his agenda of econoboxes.

However I would have handled it differently instead of punishing the larger amount of people in the forum that can talk about politics. If it were me in charge, just create an area in the forum where political talk can be discussed and if people get out of hand, they get barred from being able to post in that created area or thread. Simple as that..That way everyone is happy and it becomes easy to control..

The quoted posts above are the very reason why this isn't allowed here.

We're done discussing it.

And just so everyone knows, the OP sent me a PM asking if he could post this. I said he could but I knew it wouldn't last long. The above comments are my proof.

How many more examples do you need.
